rillig 19beef2685 Took over maintainership from Hubert.
Rewrote url2pkg in Perl, enhancing it in several ways:

- Packages for Perl modules using MakeMaker can be generated almost
  completely. The only thing that usually needs to be filled out after
  running url2pkg is the DESCR file.

- USE_LANGUAGES is filled automatically.

- After generating the initial Makefile, the editor is run to let the
  user edit the Makefile. These changes are preserved as much as
  possible. (This had not been the case before.)

- Extending url2pkg has been made much easier by splitting the tasks that
  do the "magic" into small subroutines and by adding a detailed
  description of what these routines are supposed to do.

Set the version number to 2.0.

The url2pkg program creates a new pkgsrc package from only the URL of a
distribution file. It is intended to help pkgsrc developers create new
packages quickly and easily.
